Sustainability Minor

The 18 credit minor helps students develop both broad understanding and practical skills and opportunities that will contribute to their marketability to potential employers, including private businesses that have greened their production methods, public agencies, think tanks, and non-profit organizations. These understandings and skills include:

• The addition of the important sustainability knowledge base to their present baccalaureate degree.
• The ability to identify unsustainable practices and to offer the latest science and technological solutions to reduce the impact of these practices.
• The potential to affect contemporary policy implementation at the local, regional, national, and global levels.
• A deeper understanding of the local and global challenges to sustainability from economic, environmental and social perspectives.
